with plaster. 1t is supposed that tire
Spaniards took the German "thaIer"
and called it by the name Of "piaster." !"
Tho word dollar is entered in lsaitey's
English Dictionary of 1746, aud was
used repeatedly by Shakespeare at the
beginning of the seventeenth century,
especially in "Macbeth," H., 3, 62: :
"Till she disbursed $4,000 to
our general use." (See also the "Tem-
pest" H., l, l7.) The question where
Shakespeare found the word dollar is
answered by the fact that the Hense-
attic towns maintained a great estab-
lishment called the Steel Yard in Lon
mostly North Germans,' who would
call the German thater as it was spelt,
"dah-ler." The same merchants oc-
casioned the word sterling, an abbrc-
Walton Of the word ssesterling." AS
the Hanseatic trade was particularly y
brisk on the Baltic and in Russia the
standard coins of the Hanse merchants
were called esterlings, and sterling
came to mean something genuine and
desirable, The word dollar is tho En-
gIish for thaler, the first of which was
coined about 1876, and corresponds
quite closely to our present American
silver dollars. The word thaier means
'coining from dale or valley" the
first dollar having been coined in a
Bohemian valley called Foanhimstahl.
1t was undar Charles ", tho Emperor
of Germany, King of Spain and Lerd
Of Spanish America that the German
thaler became the coin OF the WORLD

The time has come, in my Judgment,
when some notice should be taken of
the frequent statements in the press
and in private conversation with re-
gard to the letter written by mo soli-
citing General Nichols to become a
candidate for governor. 1t is charged,
and no doubt believed by many, that
the letter in question was Il purely
personal matter with me, that there
was no consultation with The leaders of
the reform element, but that ONE MAN,
unknown TO any one else, called upon
Gen. Nichols To permit the use of his
name as n candidate for the governor
ship.
Nothing could be further from the
truth. The prominent public men OF
the State who were known II be in
opposition to the principles, practices
and policies of the present State al.

Hon. Louis st. Martin emphatically de-
MES the published statement that he is can
active supporter of Gen. Nichols in the
pending canvass" On the contrary he de-
clares:
II have not taken, nor did 1 intend to
take any part in this unseemly war of fac
tions. I sincerely deplore the bitter con
test going on between tho friends of Gov.
McEnery and Gov. Nichols, which, if per-
sisted in much longer, will, I fear, cause a
dangerous schism in the ranks of the Dem
ocratic party in this State.'

the party would give to Il man like, for OK

4 WUmnn's Strange Prrscntimcnt.

Special to tho Times Donocrat.l
FORr SMITH, July 23.-News Of Il
strange preScntiment and Il terrible
accident was received here to-day. On
Monday afternoon, while Mrs. Uar-
rison was here, receiving treatment for
sore eyes, she suddenly became very
dcspondent and told the doctor that
she had a prcscntiment that something
dreadful was happening at the time.
She could not be coiHfurtcd, bat hur-
ried to her home over the mountains
in Scott county, fifty miles distant, and
found her youngest child dead, shot
accidentally by his elder brother, and
his slayer hopelessly crazed. The
brothers were playing with a gun,
which was discharged, killing the
younger. Iscmorse and fear deprived
the older of his reason, and he is now
mad. The strange feature OF the occur
renee is, that at the exact time when
Mrs. Harrison had her prescntimcnt
the awful tragedy WAS being enacted al
her home ffty miles distant.

President Cleveland was "one of tho
boys' in his day. While at Fayetteville,
N. ", his boyhood home, several days ago,
he became reminiscent and among other
things, said:
I remember Green Lake and the fish
that tried to catch and never caught, and
which suppose are there to-day. Yes, and
I remember the story of the panther seen
on the shore, and how scared ] was. But
I have heard so much howiing for the
past two years that do not think the pan
ther would frighten me now. l could tell
some of the old residents of Fayetteville
who took off their front gates forty years
ago. mention this thing, IA since have
been in Washington L have been accused oi
so many crimes that taking of a gate seeuis
to rue almost q virtue.

The American Dollar.

Our word dollar dates back to 1855,
when n resolution was passed by Con-
grcSs which provided that it should be
the unit of money Of the United States.
Another resolution was passed August
), l7SJ, providing that it should weigh
372 81 grains OF pure silver. The mint
was established in 1892, and was then
required to coin silver dollars contain
ing 3Tl.25 grains Of silver. This was
due to the influence of Alexander
Hamilton. No dollars were coined
until 1874, and then irregulariy. They
are now worth 500 each. In 1894 the
coinage Of regular dollars began. Our
coin was an adoption Of the Spanish
miIIcd dollar, Il coin very popular
whichever the SpanIards travelled. The
coin was called "piaatre," meaning 9
fiat piece Of metal; it is synoDymou:

to induce them to bulk it at Mansfield, but
we are inclined to think that they will
store it at the Mansfield junction, as they
have been rendered every facility for stor-
ing it there, and they will save forty cents
per bale transport tation.-Dc,u

No Use for Il Jail.
IN. o. Picayune.l

Mrs. Garner, tho accomplished lady
editor of the Carroll Banner, when on
a recent visit to the coast parish of
Cameron made an interesting discov
cry. She found a parish in which
there was no disorder, q court with
not criminal case on the docket and
a Jail which was used only for the
storage Of rice. Here is Mrs. Garner's
interesting statement of the case;
"The low lands lying down by tho
gulf of Mexico constitute Cameron, the
prohibition parish. There the rice
bird twitters, the cattle Craze peace
fully on the prairie, and the orange
groves bear their golden treasure.
I4eesburg is the parish seat. The press
party went ashore here and took pos
! session of the courthouse, which was
tenanted by one person, the clerk.
The sheriff had no work to do, and
just facing the hallway was small
dilapidated structure which once SER
we'd for Il parish jail, but for several
years now had been utilized as a
granary. We went and shook the
creaky door, which was ru5ting away
on its hinges we peeped through the
shutters and rusty iron bars into The
interior the only sound was he scam
pering of the rats across the floor as we
Jared the swinging shutters. No crim-
inals in Comeron-all on account OF
prohibitions"
Without undertaking TO say with the
lady that prohibition is The cause. ii
must be admitted that the coincidence
| is at least striking and suggestive.
